MEXICO: Congressional tensions defused
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has been spared a damaging domestic political clash to go with his government’s economic difficulties and recurrent diplomatic crises with the US. This after Mexico’s federal lower chamber of congress opted to elect Laura Rojas Hernández, a member of the right-wing opposition Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), as its president on 5 September. The PAN had accused the ruling left-wing Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena) of conspiring to carry out “a congressional coup” and retain the presidency for another year under Porfirio Muñoz Ledo.
